b1gcountry Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I tried my first batch of titegroup with some 125gr SNS 9mm. The WST shoots poa/poi, but I was holding 6" low at 35 yards with the titegroup. I'm not really sure what causes loads to shoot different like this. It seemed pretty significant. Anyone else find titegroup shoots higher than other powders? 3.6gr and 3.8gr titegroup under a 125gr clrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Generally, lower velocity will cause the gun to shoot higher as there is more dwell time in the barrel so the barrel has risen more when the bullet exits the muzzle. If the velocity of both loads is essentially the same then there is some other reason in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I forgot my crono, but there is a good chance it was lower velocity with the 3.6 load. I figured it was opposite what you said. Makes sense though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1gcountry Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks. One of my fears was the load was hotter than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciolist Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The 3 main powders I use for Production are WST, N320 and Solo 1000. Solo prints about an inch lower than the other 2 for me, all other things equal. WST and 320 print pretty much the same. I don't know why this is.

Sturdy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Did you also notice that the gun was significantly hotter (degrees) ? I used to shoot exclusively WST, never once recalled the gun being hot. I shoot Titegroup now and routinely burn myself on the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight group burning hotter is a known fact, some say it may even shorten the life of a barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturdy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It's shortening the life of my fingerprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 It was hot, but it was also 100 degrees outside. I heard about the tg burning hot, but when it is that hot outside, my gun just never cools down. Really, I just picked up a variety of powder so I can develop a few fall back loads in case of another powder shortage. Or should I say for the next powder shortage when they elect Hillary?
